Im new here and I need some help.

I just got my first car a few months ago and it is a 1987 z28 Camaro. I want to get some more horse power from my 305 and I dont know what to get. I want to get some window louvers to but I cant find a place that sells them online and I need to get a new dash because my dash in it now is all crack up. I need yalls help!

Not really "FAQ" material but you're a newbie so I won't bash on you much.....

I take it that it's a carbed car right? I'd post your question in the Tech/ General Engine forum and you'd get more responses than you will here. For starters, ditch your stock carb, maybe look into a bigger cam, headers, exhaust, and a better ignition system. First things I'd do on that car is carb, headers, and a free flowing exhaust (cat back).

Louvers won't make you go faster, FYI....post a "Want to Buy" as in the classifieds and see what you get. Louvers aren't really in anymore but I see them pop up for sale every now and then.

Same thing goes for the dash pad. I used to have one on hand but I don't anymore. Also, call Bruce at Hawk's Thirdgen parts (click the banner at the top of the page), he can hook you up with the parts you need.
